The APRO Education Foundation is now accepting applicants for the 2019 scholarship season. Now in its second decade, the program provides opportunities for rent-to-own professionals and their families to attend college. Cody McSwain, a student-athlete pursuing a degree in biology at Freed Hardeman University is an example of the nearly 400 hard-working students that the program has sponsored over the last decade. While money was always tight, McSwain’s parents were able to provide their children with the tools needed to succeed. Household items, and even the cost of tires for their children’s cars came through opportunities provided by the RTO industry. Click below to read more about McSwain's journey.

APRO associate member Benefit Marketing Solutions has added Product Replacement Protection, a benefit that protects its customers from weather-related damage, to its Club program. The new benefit is in response to natural disasters that have occurred in recent months such as “Bomb Cyclones”, “Supercell Thunderstorms”, “Winter Vortexes” and major flooding, damaging homes and property across the nation.

 

“Since 2018 BMS has paid over $225,000 for weather-related claims alone including flooding, tornadoes, and hurricanes,” says Susan Matthews, President of BMS. “And that’s only the beginning with typical spring storms just around the corner.”
